If you are interested in connecting your game console to the Muskingum College network for online gaming access, you will need to find your console's MAC address. Below are instructions for how to track it down.

NOTE: We will not register wireless adapter addresses, so you MUST provide a wired MAC address for access.

Printed on the underside of the adaptor is a MAC address. Write this down.
